Rejected petition John Bercow dismissed for publicly expressing an opinion on a Trump state visit.

John Bercow should be dismissed for publicly expressing his opinion on Donald Trump's state visit, by doing so he could have affected the UK's prospect of a good trade deal with the US. A good trade deal, something Mr Bercow himself thought important enough for the UK to stay in a flailing EU for.

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

There is no mechanism for the removal of a Speaker during a Parliament. Other than at a general election, the Speaker can only stop being Speaker through resignation or death.

If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the House of Commons to debate a vote of no confidence in the Speaker:
